Progress of the relationship between aberrant p53 protein and tumorigenesis / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

TP53 gene has been found to have the highest correlation with human tumors, and its mutations occurr in about 50% malignant tumors. Its encoded p53 protein is a well-known tumor-suppressor factor in vivo, which is closely related to tumorigenesis. It is found that tumorigenesis has a close relationship with various abnormal biological processes, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, DNA damage repair, cell senescence, autophagy, metabolic regulation. This paper reviews the complex network relationship between p53 protein and tumorigenesis from biological processes affecting the tumorigenesis.
